  • ABSTRACT AND FULL TEXT ONLINE FREEhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/259579605
  • Explanation: pellets are the particles of undigested  matter (mainly biomass of undigested food) that the mollusks (snails and freshwater mussels) excrete so that these mollusks function as engines that drive the transfer of a significant amount of organic matter through ecosystems.
    The paper published, with the unique results: the first measurements of the transfer of the matter and chemical elements (mg) with pellets of bivalves (a sample from a natural community of freshwater bivalve mollusks Unionidae) per unit biomass of mollusks and per unit area of the river ecosystem from which the mollusks were collected. 
    Also, the analogous results for a natural community of the mollusks Lymnaea stagnalis.

    First measurements of concentrations of some chemical elements (C, N, P, Si, and Al) in the pellets of aquatic mollusks. The first measurements of the biogeochemical fluxes of those elements with the pellets. A discovery of a new type of geochemical fluxes of chemical elements in th ebiosphere: the vertical (downward) flux of the elements toward the bottom of freshwater ecosystems, via pellets of bivalves (freshwater mussels,
    Unio sp. and other species).

    Pellets of some mollusks in the biogeochemical flows of C, N, P, Si, and Al. - Doklady Biological Sciences, 2001. Vol. 379, P. 378-381. Bibliogr. 12. (Translated from: DAN 2001. Vol. 379. No. 3.

Distributed by Springer, orderdept@springer-sbm.com [In collaboration: S.A.O., Kolesnikov M.P.] Until now the role of mollusks as links among ecological and geochemical processes was underestimated. The paper discovered the role of mollusks as key biomachines that drive massive fluxex / flows of chemical elements including C, N, P, Si, Al in the biosphere, and hazards from pollutants as inhibitors of these fluxes. New data on coupling of geochemical and ecological (hydrobiological) processes. The role of freshwater mollusks, the pond snail ( Lymnaea stagnalis) in the fluxes / flows of chemical elements in the biosphere was studied by detecting the elemental composition and amount of pellets produced by the mollusks. For the first time, the following was quantitatively studied: the elemental composition (C, N, P, Si, Al) of the pellets excreted by the mollusks, the pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis) after feeding on the leaves of the higher plants Nuphar lutea and Taraxacum officinale; the amount (wet weight, dry weight) of pellets formed by the pond snail L. stagnalis feeding on the leaves of N. lutea and T. officinale; the transfer of matter and chemical elements (C, N, P, Si, Al) with pellets of freshwater bivalves (unionids, freshwater mussels Unio sp., etc.) per unit biomass of mollusks and per unit area of the ecosystem of the river; the transfer of matter and chemical elements (C, N, P, Si, Al) with pellets of  the pond snail L. stagnalis per unit biomass of mollusks and per unit area of the ecosystem of the pond. Synthetic surfactants ТDТМА 2 mg/l, SDS 1-2 mg/l, the laundry detergent Tide-Lemon 75 mg/l inhibited the trophic activity of the pond snail L. stagnalis. Percents of food assimilability of taxa ( taxons) of invertebrates, from Rotatoria (48-80) to Diptera (1-31)].
